While the Tea Party is losing strength as a separate movement, the Tea Party caucus of the GOP is going strong.

After three years of observing these folks, I have determined that they don't want to create jobs, jobs, jobs, ignite the economy, or erase the debt. Their primary goal is to discredit and defame President Obama. They won't do ANYTHING for Americans that might benefit him politically. It is all a bit silly now, as Obama won reelection, so their hatefulness has no strategic purpose. I've never seen anything like it. I suppose the McCarthy era was kind of like this, but that is before my time.

I would not put all Republicans in this camp at all, but the TP caucus is truly a national disgrace. And if republicans want to provide national leadership again, they will have to DO something besides try to screw the other guy and bring our country to its knees in the process.

Yep, their sole organizing principle is anti-Obamaism.

Odd strategy for them to employ since a faltering economy is the goose that lays golden political eggs for Democrats.

Democrats are the ones who buy votes with government handouts when people get desperate enough to go on the dole.

We all know FDR had to die in office to lose the Presidency.

This wasn't do to the success of New Deal programs, but rather because government meddling in the economy prolonged what should have been nothing more than a sever recession making proud hard-working Americans desperate and dependent.

You can be certain that is a lesson not lost on today's Democrats.

Have any idea when professor Obama is going make good on his promise to keep unemployment below 8%?

No?

Didn't think so.

You know, after four and a half years, this 8% unemployment, crashing currency and declining wages **** is getting pretty old.




"in 1983 the recovery surpassed its previous peak in gross domestic product very rapidly from the recession's trough. Growth rose by 4.5% in 1983, 7.2% in 1984 and 4.1% in 1985, and it kept climbing through the rest of the 1980s."

Pres. Obama wants to take us in the direction of the European model--more collectivism and more centralization. The Tea Party people want to go back in the direction of the original American model--more individualism, and more decentralization. Why make it any more complicated than that? Why the need to constantly obfuscate?

obama discredits and defames himself without any help.

The Tea Party politicians merely point out what the msm ignore.

Like all the groups whose sole, aim was to destroy Bush, Chaney, Palin? Lefties have a bad chase of dishing it out and not being able to take it.
